We welcome you to join our bi-weekly national CommUnity Connect Group. This friendly online space is for adult patients (19+) and their caregivers to connect from the safety of their own homes from across Canada. Whether you are recently diagnosed or a long-time member of ImmUnity Canada, the online space is a place where you can meet others and feel a sense of belonging to the community and discuss issues that unite us.

Each meetup is hosted by one of our amazing trained volunteers who will engage you and get people talking about issues of importance to the group. They help create a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental atmosphere for the community. 

We are asking individuals to register to ensure we have enough volunteers on the day.
